In a move that has stirred the French political landscape, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the radical left, has challenged the potential exclusion of Insoumis members from a government led by Lucie Castets.

This question has put pressure on President Emmanuel Macron, who has yet to appoint a successor to Gabriel Attal as Prime Minister.

Macron's hesitation is partly due to the controversy surrounding the inclusion of Insoumis ministers, which has been a sticking point for both the right and the central bloc.

While some Macronist allies have softened their stance, others remain firm in their opposition, threatening to vote for censure if Insoumis members are included.

As Macron continues consultations with various political factions, the future of the French government remains uncertain, with Castets advocating for a stable institutional solution.
